With yesterday’s news that the FIFA 13 demo is finally available for the PS3, the hype surrounding the game may mean that PES 2013 demo may have all but faded from players’ memories.

With release date for PES 2013 scheduled a week ahead of FIFA 13, we put the demos head to head to get an idea of which title is likely to win out when they hit the market for real.

PES 2013 demo

Konami gets the thumbs up for releasing a second version of the PES 2013 demo after listening to feedback from players.

It launched its second demo offering at the end of August for Xbox 360 and PS3, with a PC version available later this month.

Version two of the demo offers 11 fully licensed teams, up from the eight offered on the first demo, and also allows teams to battle it out in 10 minute matches.

The range of teams includes Germany, England, Portugal and Italy. Improvements have also been made to shot speed, blocking actions by defenders, pass targeting and trajectory and even the game’s referee Al.

One of the demo’s key features is Pro-Active AI, which gives players the chance to move both on and off the ball to give a true-to-life soccer experience. A new mechanic in FullControl also gives players full control of shots and passes.
